The Blank Tapes have a new LP out, courtesy of our friends over at Royal Oakie records. Geodesic Dome Piece is a collection of older TBT recordings that have been freshly remixed and that revolve around a specific theme. You can guess what it is when you realize that the lead single is a catchy tune called Way Too Stoned.

The Blank Tapes – Way Too Stoned

Emily Jane White has announced a set of German and French dates for February, kicking things off in Switzerland at the One Of A Million Festival.

Emily’s most recent release, Blood/Lines, got rave reviews, some of the more choice comments you can peruse HERE. And of course, you can check out 2012′s Ode To Sentience, on sale at iTunes or via our very own Antenna Farm Store.

While we en los Estados Unidos choke ourselves silly on Thanksgiving xenophobia, you can enjoy the fine music of a one true troubadour…and by that, we mean solo performances by non other than Bart Davenport.

Check the dates, and be sure to pick up a new 7″ featuring a pair of classic trax, The Saviours & Beg, Steal Borrow. GET ON IT!

The Blank Tapes together with German psych rockers The Roaring 420s will embark on a six-week tour through Europe in this winter’s most compelling transatlantic psychedelic double feature!

As if this itinerary is not epic enough, both bands will also be releasing a limited edition split cassette tape for the tour on Melotron Recordings out of Greece! Check out below to see where they’re at:

A couple of months ago, we were stoked to share that Tele Novella was doing a month long run through the west. We were even more stoked when they rolled through Oakland for a couple of totally excellent shows.

But what about you, St. Louis? Feeling left out, Athens? Sad and lonely, NYC? Well fret no more, Tele Novella is about to share the love with the right half of the country too!

Tele Novella – Coat-Tail Rider

Holy Moses, where did the summer go? Feels like we’re still nursing our hangover from Memorial Day weekend, and now Labor Day is upon us. Summer vacation is over, and the kids are headed back to school.

The Blank Tapes – Holy Roller EP

Oh Boy. Tele Novella had a successful Indiegogo campaign, and a special thanks to all who contributed to the tour van fund! Now it is time to reap the benefits and catch TN as they do a month’s worth of West Coast tour dates!

AF regulars know Tele Novella as Natalie from Agent Ribbons new band, they are super fun live, so if you are on the itinerary be sure to check them out!

Tele Novella – Trouble In Paradise

We’re heading into the dog days of summer, but we’ve got something even more refreshing than a trip to a community pool full of kids and a little warmer than it seems like it should be.

That’s right! The Blank Tapes have a brand new video for the great track Tamarind Seeds off their Vacation LP. Psychedelic in that kind of late night community cable, “what the hell am I waching?” kind of way, this thing looks like it was ripped off a VHS tape you found cleaning out a stranger’s storage space. Hott.

Like I said, Tamarind Seeds comes off of the Vacation LP, which we put out here at AF just prior to going on a hiatus from new releases last year. But it’s now also available as a cassette from the fine folks at Burger Records. If you are a fan of this classic format, be sure to head over to the Burger Store and pick one up!

Yes, you read that right. Bart Davenport is headed out on a west coast tour with his ace LA band, and you should totally go.

But before you do, check the great new video for one of our fave cuts from his new album, Physical World. The video is for Fuck Fame, and if the song wasn’t good enough, the video features LA comedian Brent Weinbach (who is brother to Foxtails Brigade’s Laura Weinbach, yes it’s a small world…). The song is great and the video is funny and smart…and like any good video has a totally predictable twist ending. Check it out below…and if the band is coming to your town, check that out too!

Have you guys checked out the new LP, Ride The Black Wave, from The Donkeys yet? This record has been getting a ton of spins over here at the old AFHQ, and we’re loving it. If you haven’t gotten with this record yet, here is what you must do:

1. Stream this bad daddy courtesy of Spotify (link below), and then,

2. Pick up a copy of the LP when The Donkeys roll through your town.

Wait, what? Tour dates? For one of the funnest bands to watch on the west coast? Believe it!
